Very nice! My takeoffs improved a lot with one small technique added: before the pull first slowly go forward and feel the light tension of A-s on your thumbs which should be equal, adjust the tension by slight side-steping, then go backwards a couple of steps, and then pull and go-go-go.
Absolutely! Yes. I do that as well. Know that you are centered and that you can feel where the lines will load for inflation. The wing has the best chance for inflating symmetrically from a forward launch when you start centered and directly into wind. Accelerate gradually and have the glider directly overhead as the airflow and lift increase. Fully loaded and perfectly overhead creates the most deflation-resistant launch for a paraglider. Also, no leaping or jumping into harness before the wing is fully centered overhead and lifting up to decrease your chances of deflation, collapsing, stalling and/or injury, damage to body or gear. LLL!!!

Thanks! Would you mind showing a few pics of it? Trying to understand what you said you sewed onto the leg mount . Also where you pulled your phone on a tether out of.

6:08 Neat way of dropping yer gear, J.T!
Nice video JT. Great seeing you at Bad Apples!
Thanks! Cheers!
Love the video. Well done! 🍻
Thank you kindly!
The preferred method with some is to lay out the glider, then go fix a sammich and take a nap. 😁
That's the less than 55-minute setup & go technique! Hee-hee!!!🤣
Awesome! 🎉
Awesome Sauce! 🥰😍
Nice mental state checks. Big lifesaver.
Thanks! Way to go... I'm a JTW!
Good stuff JT. Still liking your thigh Velcro thingy for your phone? Love some info on it please. I’m not liking the system I use.

What kind of set up did you have to store your phone and then take it out and stick on the velcro?
